Mugello

Welcome BTW Naga418.

Lucky you!!! Ive never been to any other race outside of UK but thats gonna change.

Are you living in the US? or based elsewhere .....Just curious as thats a heck of a long way to go watch a GP.

I sure someone here has been to Mugello, so hopefully you will get an answer to your question.

Never been to Mugello, sorry I couldn't be of help. I was at Laguna last year too, what did you think?

This year we have a wedding to attend in Hong Kong and ourselves as well as the wedding party are headed to Italy after the wedding. Well when in Rome do as.... so my wife and I are leaving the wedding party and headed to catch the MotoGP.

That's a lot of globetrotting for a wedding.

Hey Ben you got that sorta stuff goin? Come to Motegi for yer "Honeymoon"

can't help with tips that I know I know off,. but there are known's which we all know, and unknown's which we will know when we know off them when we get there,. Rummers is class ain't he

I am doing the Jerez round first with my wee buck, flying out,. but I hope to do the Mugello one as well during my M/Cycle trip arounf June,.

all I would say is get a video of the racing at Mugello and work out where the best action usually is,. for Jerez the wee man and me are heading to the X1 stand,. which is the two corners leading up to the last hairpin where Rossi stuck the boot in Gibbers last year

Also,. I would suggest to get your tickets early,.
If you can stretch to it I would look at VIP tickets,. can run from 700 quid up, although this does not mean you will see the best action,. I would also suggest a section of the track where there is a large TV screen,.

No matter what,. you and the better half will have a ball as the atmosphere is usually electric,. especially Itanliano and heth-spanya

good luck,. enjoy

You should check out Road America.

Wheres that, Ooost? Never heard of it

road america is in wisconsin. it,s an excellent 4 mile road course in the heart of america. a few years back there was talk of motogp going there, but i don't think the track is fim approved. it's also kinda remote. i think miller motorsports park is going to be the premiere road race track in the states when it is completed. will be fim/fia approved, full state of the art garages & facilities & is 30 min from salt lake city. the wifes cousin lives in sandy utah, right down the road from salt lake.

There was talk of MotoGP going but just like you I doubt it. Although there is a huge rennovation going on there, I want to say like $11 million and the reason was "to attract international championships." I've got to believe they will be getting something when the make the changes, my guess is WSB. It is very remote though, nealy 100 miles from Chicago and between 50-100 miles from Milwaukee.

From what I've read Miller Motorsports Park is going to be great and will have approval from all the sanctioning bodies so MotoGP and WSB can come. I just hope that they did a good job designing it so it's not a dull circuit.

yea Ooost i think it will be wsbk. i hope the miller track should be excellent. even tho it is being built in a flat area, they added elevation changes so it would'nt be flat & boring. no corksrew mind you, but enough i'm sure. well see when the ama guy's go there this summer.
